Almost a month -

I have been taking nature throid for almost 1 mI still feel very tired and have more hair falling out than ever. I have to admit I am discouraged, but I will go next week to get my blood work done at the endocrinologist office. I'm also starting a timed meal research project at the University of Tennessee on Wednesday. It's in HEAL (lab). I am going to be a subject in this study and participate by keeping up with all sorts of information and wear a monitor and report answers on several questions while eating every 5 hours except when sleeping of course.  This kind of thing motivates me so this ought to be very good. I will update on all the parameters and specifics of the study. :)

1st day

This is my first day of taking a higher dosage of nature throid. I hope that this next 3 months is my turn around point. I am very excited to start a new , fresh, plan which includes 1500 calories and lots of water while trying to eat mostly gluten free. I also plan to get back to solid work out schedule (5 days a week). I believe I can turn this thing around.

New goal

By November twenty first I will be at or below 140 pounds. Good goal  for me because it will mean that I am out  the overweight category: also means I will lose approximately 40 pounds.
I'm hoping that this change for my goal well help me remotivate.

Results

I gained 3 pounds on my vacation. This is not too bad however, I really wanted to gain 0 pounds. I will be content with this and start working from here. I am pretty sure that if I had not been on nature throid then I would have gained even more. I find being on vacation is a mental game and takes a lot of discipline to stay on track. Honestly, I was about half and half. Which, for being on vacation with three grown men who eat a lot and often I'm going to choose to feel pretty good about how I did. Positive begets positive.

Goal for vacation

I'm heading to lovely Florida for a week. Lots of eating out and lazy days ahead. My goal is just not to gain weight this week. I want to come back within 2-4 lb.s of my current weight (176). So really what I mean is not gain any substantial weight. I do not want to back pedal so much that I create another obstacle to overcome. I would rather enjoy healthy fresh foods and some treats. I'm going to attempt 25/75 diet this upcoming week. That is make 75% of what I eat nutritious lean food --- then eat a treat or two. I also plan on being active as much as possible. Do not get me wrong I'm going to relax but I do want to keep in the back of my head the fact that I do not want to lose so much ground that it is a battle just to get back where I am now. Wish me luck. 

At 176 lb. :Down from 184lb.!

Well, I lost another pound. Being disciplined really does pay off. I have hope again!♡☆♡☆:-)

Memorial Day has been healthy

Well, I ordered the dress pictured below and some new yellow box flip flops. I also ordered some Bermuda shorts and a blue dolman sleeved shirt to have  new for my beach trip. I'm getting very excited about my beach trip that begins on June the 7th. I am NOT happy about the lack of weight loss as a whole. But I'm still excited to go and spend time walking on the beach for exercise and trying to have a healthy beach trip with my family. The past couple of days have been great and I did a Jillian Michaels workout yesterday and I am going to purchase the 30 day shred, in an  attempt to do it every morning until we go to the beach. It has been exactly one month since starting nature throid and I am down a total of eight pounds. However, I do know that I can do better so it is time to pick it up. Hopefully I will be able to report a good amount of weight loss for the upcoming month.

Great day

I'm not going to waste another day...

Field days are over!!!!!!

Well, the hardest part of the school year is over.  Field day for me is a 3 day marathon that I dread for months. I slipped back into some comfort eating to soothe my nerves but im putting it behind me and moving forward.  I'm ready to get back to the disciplined way of eating that I had started with my new medication.  I believe i can achieve my goal of having a fit and thin body. BELIEVE & RECEIVE!  I CAN AND I WILL! Happy mother's day to any moms reading this blog :-)
